OSU in
Portland
Real impact. Right here.
Portland isn’t just Oregon’s largest metro area — it’s a vital part of the Oregon State University community. OSU students, alumni, faculty and staff live here, work here and show up to help the region thrive. From expanding access to education to driving innovation and expanding prosperity, OSU is deeply invested in Portland’s success.
We don’t just talk about impact — we deliver it. Take, for example, OSU Extension Master Gardeners, who donated nearly 12,000 pounds of produce to Portland communities in one year — and that number keeps growing.
Restoring Ross Island
OSU researchers and the Human Access Project have worked together with several local partners to identify solutions for harmful cyanobacterial blooms in the Ross Island Lagoon.
Everywhere you look, OSU is here.
OSU is active across the Portland metro area — researching, building, testing, learning. Doing hands-on work that matters. And doing it in partnership with businesses, civic leaders, organizations and community members.
Connect with OSU in Portland.
We share your values — and act on them. OSU connects people across Portland who are working to move the region forward, whether that’s growing opportunity, solving tough problems or opening doors to higher education.
The OSU Portland Center, across from Pioneer Courthouse Square, brings together students, faculty, alumni, industry, nonprofits and civic partners to collaborate, experiment and get things done.
Let’s build a stronger Portland together.
We don’t do this alone — and we don’t want to. OSU proudly partners with business, community services, the arts, government and recreation from across the region to deliver solutions that work and results that last.
